We said: Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 SC Paderborn

 SC Paderborn pulled off a major upset on their travels in the second round, but we do not see them managing the same again against a Bayer Leverkusen side who are yet to lose a competitive game this term. Even with rotations anticipated, Alonso's men should certainly have the quality to progress to the quarter-finals on home turf. Read more.
